professionals in the field of business and management.With the increasing usage of internet and smart
devices both in business processes and otherwise, there is an explosion in the generation of data. The
data is becoming an increasingly important part of strategy and decision making from boardroom to
shop floor. Getting insight from this data demands sophisticated tools, models and processes. Through
this new management program our objective is at building future managers with data analytics
capabilities for a corporate career in the several key disciplines.It is our constant endeavour to enhance
the knowledge and skill sets of future managers so that they are adequately equipped to accept the
challenges posed by the increasingly technology driven business environment.

One of the important aspects of a technological driven economy is that innovation and disruption are at
its core. The industries are changing at a fast pace and so does the skills required. The programme
focuses on the fundamental concepts of management, organisation, finance, operations, behaviour,
marketing and law. The program is designed in such a manner that the role of analytics is emphasised
from the very beginning of the program. Through this program students will be exposed to core
managerial concepts, business problems, big data ecosystem, case studies, data driven case studies
and tools, platforms and software to solve them. It is our endeavour that through this program the

solving problem core business problems through various elective courses. For this the courses use a
variety of analytic packages and software like Excel, R, Tableau, Python, Tensorflow, Keras, Scala,

from a variety of sources. Hands on data and live execution of code is an important aspect of the
pedagogy. The students will have a variety of choices in choosing the courses depending on the role
they want to play in their professional life. In the emerging business environment there is a fundamental
